MUFA/Brutality Show/2015 Full Length Review

MUFA are a band from Brazil that plays a mixture of death metal and hardcore and this is a review of their self released 2015 album "Brutality Show".

A very heavy hardcore sound starts off the album along with some melodic riffs and aggressive vocals and you can also hear elements of thrash in the bands musical style as well as the vocals adding in death metal growls and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard in the songs.

Most of the music is rooted in the 90's death metal and hardcore genres and back up gang shouts can also be heard at times and throughout the recording you can hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and they also bring in a brief use of reggae samples and pot smoking and some songs also bring in a small amount of guitar leads and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.

MUFA plays a musical style that goes back to the early 90's era of death metal and hardcore and mixes them together with a touch of thrash to create a style of their own, the production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover Cannabis, Drugs, Violence and Sarcasm themes.

In my opinion MUFA are a very great sounding mixture of death metal and hardcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hard Straight Line" "Junkie Pride" "Corruption" and "Brutality Show". 8 out of 10.
